Bravo’s Below Deck star Oriana Schneps is in a committed relationship with her boyfriend John Dampeer. Who is John? Are they still together? What does he do for a living? Where is he from?
Let’s get to know him more from this piece that is about his personal and professional life.
Meet John Dampeer, Below Deck Star Oriana Schneps Boyfriend
Below Deck fans saw Oriana Schneps mingling with bosun Lewis Lupton. Although the chemistry between them was undeniable, they are definitely an item because Oriana is currently in a relationship with her boyfriend John Dampeer. Oriana has expressed her love for her man publicly on her socials.
In July 2022, Oriana posted on her IG, “Hate the shirt. Love the man. @johndampeer.” A month before that post, she made another post where she wrote, “He’s a 10 but he could be taller. @johndampeer.”
However, John is relatively private about their dating life. He hasn’t shared much about Oriana and never featured her on his socials. After Oriana was done filming Below Deck, the pair took a trip to Croatia. Although their last post together dates back to September 2022, they still seem to be together.
Oriana was always drawn to water and started working in a Boston aquarium in high school. Per her bio, “she participated in a scuba diving research expedition in the Bahamas while in college and never looked back as she set sail for a career in yachting”. She is passionate about equestrian and scuba diving.
On her LinkedIn, Oriana stated that she is a co-founder of Rudr. At the same time, she is also working as a yacht broker at United Yacht Sales. She attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst where she studied Biomedical Management.

John Dampeer Job
John Dampeer is a restauranter by profession. He is the owner of Fool’s Errand. Before Fool’s Errand, he had opened beer bars named Cashouse and Hamlet, both in Noe Valley. However, both of them closed in a period of 18 months. Speaking with San Francisco Chronicle, he said, “No one goes to Noe Valley to hang out if you don’t live in Noe Valley. You’re not gonna say, ‘It’s a Friday night, let’s go out in Noe Valley.’”
The neighborhood’s residents tend to be homebodies, he noticed, many of them families with young children — not his target audience. He sold Hamlet’s liquor license and was scheming about his next move when a friend connected him with the owners of Mojo Bicycle Cafe on Divisadero.
They were looking to close the coffee shop and bring in a new tenant. John saw the perfect opportunity to build a Caskhouse-level beer list and a Hamlet-level wine list in what is perhaps San Francisco’s hottest dining corridor — the opposite, in foot-traffic terms, of Noe Valley.
As a result, he ended up starting Fool’s Errand. The bar was benefiting from the energy of Divisadero — a neighborhood where people definitely do go out on a Friday night — and Divisadero, too, is benefiting from the bar. In a corridor that’s overflowing with great high-end restaurants (Nopa, Che Fico), casual dining options (Souvla, Namu Stonepot, 4505), cocktail bars (Horsefeather, Madrone Art Bar), and neighborhood bars (Club Waziema, Fly Bar), there was a curious lack of high-level wine and beer bars, the sort of place where you can get Nopa-caliber drinks without having to jump through the hoops of getting into Nopa.
Fool’s Errand is the rare bar that’s equally geeky with wine and beer. “People call it a wine bar, and other people call it a beer bar,” John told at the time. “I say whatever, I don’t care. I’m just really proud to be able to offer the Alvarado Streets and the Temescals next to the Savarts and the Envinates.”
Within the year, John hoped to transform the back of Fool’s Errand into a bottle shop.
Dampeer’s beer selection reflects the best of the local breweries that are turning out new recipes every week: Alvarado Street, Fieldwork, Cellarmaker, Temescal. If it leans IPA-heavy, that’s simply because that’s what these breweries are producing. He’s not afraid to stock beers that lean funky.

Moving on to his academic qualifications, John completed his high school education at Weston High School and later studied at Pennsylvania State University and graduated in 2004.
